What happens after death? When the heart stopped, some revived people told them what they remembered.

Various media outlets began talking about the story, which became popular in 2016, when researchers at the University of Southampton (UK) studied about 2,000 cardiac arrest patients over four years. They published their findings in the journal Resuscitation.

Of the 2,060 people surveyed, 330 survived the event and up to 140 were able to retell parts of the event. According to the researchers, 39 percent of them could remember what happened just before resuscitation.

This showed that when the heart stopped, people’s minds were still functioning, but many recovered people lost those memories. Some said they recalled feeling calm, while others felt time slowing or speeding up. Some felt as if they had risen above their bodies.

“We know that the brain cannot function when the heart stops beating,” Dr. Dr, who led the study, told the National Post. Sam Parnia.

He currently teaches at Stony Brook University School of Medicine in New York.

“But in this case, the awareness of consciousness continued for three minutes after the heart stopped, although the brain generally shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds,” he said.

Last year, speaking with the online portal Live Science, dr. Parnia said that people can remain conscious in the first phase of death. There was also some evidence that people can remember the events.

“They described the visible work of doctors and nurses, saying they remember all the conversations and things they saw that they shouldn’t know about,” he said.

A separate study last year revealed that brain activity can continue for up to 10 minutes after death, although the reasons for this are unknown. Other studies have shown that many genes in our body can continue to function for days after death.

But are we really conscious after our hearts and brains stop working? Well, scientists are not quite sure yet.

First of all, a lot is still unknown, and what exactly happens to the brain when it dies remains a mystery. However, there is evidence to suggest that perhaps our brains are not dying as fast as we thought.
